GRRL! SUMMARY:

  • DORIANE PIN delivered a composed final stint at Spa, recovering from tenth to fifth in LMP2 ProAm after multiple safety cars disrupted the race, maintaining consistent low-2:05 lap times while navigating traffic.
  • Team secured pole through Giorgio Roda’s exceptional wet-weather qualifying lap of 2:03.578, but multiple safety-car interventions and differing fuel strategies prevented them from challenging for the podium despite strong pace.
  • Result marks return to top-five after disappointing Imola round where team lost championship lead. PIN opened season with consecutive podiums at Barcelona and Paul Ricard, plus impressive Le Mans 24 Hours run ended by technical failure.
  • Championship standings show team fourth on 49 points, just 12 behind leaders with two rounds remaining. Next opportunity comes at Silverstone’s four-hour race on September 13.

UPCOMING:

  • 4 Hours of Silverstone – September 13, 2026
